    Does anyone other than PUI make window felts for "A" bodies? Specifically 1967 GS convertible.
    I have a set of what PUI says are correct but they are not even close to correct.
    Does any other company make and sell them?

    Thanks in advance

    Nobody makes push-button fit wipes. It's crazy but it's almost like no company every got it right. It was just a matter of who did it less wrong. I originally got mine from Poston, which is currently R.I.P.

    Anyone needing 70-72 GS/Sky style should get Ted Williams (TWE) Brand from ss396.com. They are very good. The rears may still need some tweaking but they are very close to original. Tell them they are for a Chevelle so they do not get confused. They will work however. We got a Set of PUI's for my friends Hurst Olds. They suck.

    Thanks for all the responses - but you guys sure are not helping my cause. Does Ted do stuff for '67s?
    I called PUI again this mornig and was told I would get a response by the end of the day.
    They must work til midnight because it is now 10:30 pm their time and I have had no call.

    See if you can do some parts number cross reference. See if Buick for your year and Chevelle are the same #'s. If they are then call ss396.com and ask them what brand they sell.

    Great thought Dave! But already looked at that and they don't match anything.
    Made another call to PUI and left a message - extremely poor customer service. Not ready to outright bad mouth them yet - I still have a set that I want to return. Will probably call manager next week.
    Yesterday, I spoke with OPGI and one of the customer service reps said "let me get a set off the shelf and we can talk about what it looks like. I'll call you back." Yeah right - been told that before! Low & behold - he did call back with a set in hand. I thanked him immediately for the call. He described the set and I bought them. They are Repop brand - so will see if they are correct and how they look. More when they show up.

    I do not know the differences between a 67 GS and a 67 SS or Chevelle. But many Chevelle parts cross with Buick. Like I know my 69 exterior door handles are identical to 69 Chevelle. The door fuzzies might be the same from 67 Chevelle to GS and the rears might need slight trimming. I had to slightly trim mine and re-align some holes because they were probably for a Chevelle anyway. I agree with another poster. Try ordering Chevelle ones from SS396 or The Parts Place or something. When you start ordering off brands like Buick and Olds all they send you is Chevelle stuff anyway. Half that stuff was all the same and just jury rigged at the factory per brand anyway probably.
